Chapter 218 8 Hong 1 Yu Tower
Wang Teng was silent for a moment, then held up one finger: "One hundred years. Give me one hundred years of your tears and faith, and I guarantee your son won't be kidnapped by the authorities!"
The young woman nodded eagerly.
With a thought, Wang Teng directly took Kayako and his son into his own space.
Commemoration is a way to educate the public about the definition of the 'human circle'.
"After the fog descended, many gods in the world sacrificed their lands and people to protect themselves. However, their faith also originated from humans. They could only possess divine power if humans believed in them."
"And the human enclosure is where they keep humans and collect faith. The difference is that some gods choose to create a separate space within their divine kingdom for humans to live in, but the number of humans that can be accommodated is limited. So most people use the second method..."
Baili Pangpang swallowed hard, then asked in a low voice, "What is the second method?"
Looking up at the sky, Jinian said in a clear voice, "The second method is that they will find some kind of divine artifact to use as a vessel, and put all the surviving humans into the artifact, like a fish tank, with densely packed people living in it."
Cao Yuan looked at Ji Nian with puzzlement: "Isn't this a good thing? Since they live inside the divine artifact, they are protected from the corruption of the strange and the mist."
An Qingyu shook her head: "If we lived inside a divine artifact, the trouble would be immense. With humanity's current capabilities, most resources are obtained from nuclear energy, bioenergy, solar energy, and wind energy. But if we were inside a divine artifact... Don't forget, the divine shepherd of humanity is not just an empty phrase."
Ji Nian rubbed his head, looking exasperated. "Yes, that's right. Humans need soil, water, food, air, and energy to survive. The artifact itself doesn't automatically produce these things. So, it creates these items out of thin air by absorbing the souls of humans within the human realm."
Baili Pangpang was startled and quickly threw out the photos he had just found in Kayako's room.
"That terrifying?"
Ji Nian nodded: "Yes, that's right. So one of the ultimate goals of me in founding this 'Shang Xie Hui' is to destroy the 'Human Circle' and save the souls of humanity. In a sense, the existence of the 'Human Circle' is itself the original sin! The reason they can survive is because the souls of hundreds of millions of their ancestors were sacrificed."
Lin Qiye clicked his tongue in amazement: "Fortunately, the gods of our Great Xia were not as cruel and ruthless as the outer gods. They were willing to sacrifice their own Heavenly Court origins and bodies to transform into nine national-level divine steles to block the invasion of the mist. Divine might is like a prison, and divine grace is like the sea. That's all there is to it!"
Jinian continued, "So, the key to our problem now is to find the gap connecting the human circle to the outside world, and then collapse the 'human circle' in one fell swoop!"
Hearing this, Wang Teng smiled strangely: "No need for such trouble. Before my strength broke through, this matter was indeed very troublesome, but after the breakthrough, it's a piece of cake! However, before that, I plan to do two things first."
"Two things???"
30 minutes later,
Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan
Wang Teng stared coldly at the Soul-Suppressing Tower in front of him, and the other members of the Covering Heaven Squad also looked grim.
An Qingyu's voice was filled with malice as she spoke, each word distinct: "The Eightfold Tower! Seeing this tower, I no longer care about right or wrong in the Japanese world. Now, I only have two outcomes: either I am killed by the gods of Japan, or I kill the gods of Japan, and the people of Japan will provide me with faith for life!"
Cao Yuan was unaware of this history and looked at the solemn-faced group with a puzzled expression: "What does 'Hakkō Ichiyuta' mean?"
Wang Teng remained silent.
An Qingyu said with a serious expression: "The term 'Hakkō' comes from the ancient Chinese book 'Liezi: Tang Wen'. When these four characters are combined, it means that the Japanese invaders wanted to occupy the lands of the four seas and eight wastelands and establish a unified great country, with the Japanese emperor as the supreme monarch of the world."
To suppress the fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Japanese government, taking advantage of the Great Xia's decline, plundered 238 of the most spiritually potent stones from the Great Wall, the summit of Mount Tai, the Yellow Crane Tower, the Ming Palace in Nanjing, Purple Mountain, and Dongshuiguan, among others, to forge this Soul-Suppressing Tower.
Wang Teng's eyes flashed with golden light as he realized that even today, wisps of the Great Xia Dynasty's destiny were still being drawn away by the "Eight Directions and One Universe Pagoda" before him.
"I'm taking this tower today, and nobody can stop me!"
As Wang Teng gazed at one side of the Eightfold Array Tower, the killing intent in his eyes intensified.
Suddenly, Wang Teng's expression hardened, and energy flashed at his fingertips. A large hole was blasted into the open ground on one side of the Hakko Ichiyu Tower, and the souls of dozens of Japanese samurai were scattered to the winds!
"Baka yarou! (You bastard!)"
A puff of white smoke flashed by.
A middle-aged man with a bun hairstyle, wearing a white kimono and a samurai sword at his waist, stood at the front, followed by thousands of soldiers holding samurai swords and coldly watching them.
Upon hearing the explosion, a hundred or so Onmyoji and ninjas quickly emerged from the temple.
Wang Teng sneered: "Oh, so you've stumbled into the enemy's lair today. Perfect, let's settle both old and new scores together."
The leading undead warrior swung his katana forward: "Chinese? Since you've come, then leave your flesh and soul here today. My sword is eager to hear your wails."
Seeing that a mere undead at the Klein level dared to spout such nonsense, Wang Teng didn't tolerate it. He directly took out the Human Emperor's Sail, which he had just redeemed from the system shop and which was shrouded in black mist.
Wang Teng waved the Emperor's Sail towards the sky, and the black mist-shrouded sail emitted boundless suction, while screams faintly echoed from its surface.
"You dare to act tough in front of Lao Wang? You're all brothers in the Emperor's camp! Come in and face the wall to reflect on your mistakes. If you can't figure out you took the wrong thing, don't come out."
The scene lasted for thirty seconds, and the undead in the once bustling Hakko Ichiyu Tower were completely absorbed by the Emperor's Sail in Wang Teng's hand.
Seeing the Emperor's Sail billowing black smoke from Kuchi, everyone in the Shrouding Heaven Squad, as well as the Onmyoji and ninjas, couldn't help but take a step back.
The leading Onmyoji was covered in sweat: "My lord, spare me, I am willing to be your most loyal servant."
Wang Teng chuckled as he looked at the group of Onmyoji and ninjas in front of him: "No, no, no, to me, the dead Japanese are the good Japanese!"
After saying that, Wang Teng directly transformed his palm into a claw and used the Undying Heavenly Art. Boundless suction force surged from Wang Teng's hand, and the Yin-Yang Master and Ninja's strength could not be fully exerted. They were completely transformed into particles of energy and gathered in Wang Teng's hand.
